XS Advanced Administration: System Overview

in the last post of this series, we talked about logging in at XS advanced using the xs cli. This time, we’re going to start exploring the system and the first task is to get a system overview by means of the xs cli command system-info. Please note, that you need to have XS advanced administrator permissions to be allowed to execute this command:

$ xs system-info
Getting system infrastructure information...

Several sections about the components of an XS advanced landscape are displayed. We will go through each individual section individually:

Execution Agents

The first section displays information about the execution agents that are currently connected to the XS Controller:

In this example, 2 execution agents on “host1.example.org” and “host2.example.org” are connected to schedule application instances on. For each execution agent, additional information is displayed like:

The host on which the execution agent runs on

The date at which the execution agent was started

The port range the execution agent uses for applications on it’s host

The platform and version of the SAP JVM that is running the execution agent

In this example, the organization “myorg” contains two spaces named “PROD” and “SAP”. In addition to the number of deploy application in each space, the operating system user as which application instances are started is displayed.

Wrap-up

Using the command xs system-info, you can get an overview about the connected execution agents, the deployed applications, the organization and space structure. In the next blog-post, we’re going to describe how to navigate through organizations and spaces.
